Description

Communicating Science: Contexts and Channels is a collection of articles that consider the communication between scientists and the public. The first part of the reader includes material about what the public needs to know about science and why. It includes discussion of case studies of the public use of scientific information. The second part looks at the variety of ways in which scientific ideas are communicated to the public, either in formal education or by informal means. Written with scientists in mind, this book is also suitable for and accessible to students of science policy, media or communications courses.
